Those strange speculations vanished completely after news of the Emperor bringing a woman from Jiangnan reached the palace.
Tao Luoran could hardly believe it was true when she heard the news.
In fact, her life has been relatively stable over the past two years.
After all, she has moved on from the past and from that scumbag.
She is now a concubine in the palace, and is seen as a mistress by others.
Life in the palace was not as harsh as she had imagined.
She was well-fed and warmly clothed, and had the leisure to paint, read, and even do other things she enjoyed without anyone interfering.
Since the emperor isn't coming anyway, no matter how well they dress up, no one will see them, so they might as well do something they enjoy.
Many of the concubines who had come to terms with it began to let their true nature shine through.
Although Tao Luoran's family did not send people to visit her like other ministers, they would still occasionally offer their regards.
After all, no one can predict what will happen next.
Tao Luoran's entry into the palace had already greatly shocked her family.
When the emperor didn't choose a concubine, it caused quite a stir in the capital. Everyone thought the emperor should wait a few more years, and maybe he was plotting something else.
He started the talent show, which surprised everyone.
After careful consideration, they gave their daughter her name.
We have to give it a shot.
With such close ties between the imperial court and the harem, if they wanted to advance their careers, they should have to make some sacrifices.
The women in the family lived a life of luxury for many years.
When it's their turn to contribute, they naturally have to step forward.
Moreover, entering the palace is not a difficult thing.
If one gains the emperor's favor, one will be second only to the emperor and above all others—who wouldn't want to become empress?
Tao Luoran was chosen, which greatly shocked the Tao family.
Because including her was just to make up the numbers; they actually chose other young ladies from the Tao family.
Unfortunately, her cleverness backfired, and Tao Luoran turned the tables on him, successfully entering the palace and becoming the victor.
Later, the Tao family also carefully considered how to treat Tao Luoran.
It's entirely possible that she might suddenly gain the emperor's favor and become a favored concubine.
For this possibility, they naturally had to grit their teeth and treat Tao Luoran well.
Tao Luoran is now receiving far more attention than she did before her rebirth.
In fact, she is much happier.
Tao Luoran's life after marriage was worse than that of a pig or a dog, and she even died without a burial place in the end.
She was truly fed up with the scumbag and his lover, and dreamed of getting revenge.
Happiness is relative; a peaceful life was her expectation in her previous life. In this life, Tao Luoran is determined to become the emperor's favorite concubine.
She wanted to become the most noble woman in the world.
If everyone has a chance, then why can't she be the one chosen?
But her plans all fell through after she entered the palace.
The emperor never entered the harem or met with his concubines. After entering the palace, Tao Luoran never saw the emperor.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
The Emperor is their nominal husband, but Tao Luoran still doesn't know what he looks like.
Tao Luoran was extremely anxious, and as time went on, her anxiety grew deeper and deeper.
Tao Luoran felt that she had a lot of talent but no way to use it.
She was determined to achieve her dream by climbing to the position of empress, but the emperor gave her no chance at all.
She remembered that in her previous life, the emperor at least had a normal selection of concubines, and the concubines in the harem also had normal nights with him. It was impossible to tell which concubine the emperor favored, but it was still very good that he treated everyone equally.
Everything has changed in this life.
Tao Luoran began to doubt herself.
Everyone only lives once, but she was reborn, inexplicably given an extra chance compared to others.
But the people she meets in this life are completely different from those in her previous life.
The emperor is not the same person he was in his previous life.
Are her enemies still the same people?
If not, what exactly is the purpose of all her scheming?
Tao Luoran dared not think too deeply about it, for fear of breaking down.
Upon learning that the Emperor had returned to the capital with his beloved woman, Tao Luoran was happier than anyone else.
She made up her mind to please the woman the emperor had taken a liking to.
If the emperor can fall in love with one woman, then why don't other women have a chance?
Those who could enter the palace were all exceptionally beautiful.
Once she figured out the emperor's preferences, she could get back on track and stop overthinking.
Tao Luoran silently made up her mind that she would become best friends with the concubine favored by the emperor!
Unfortunately, it wasn't just her other concubines who had similar or opposing views; they had no opportunity to do anything about it.
During the month that woman was in Beijing, they couldn't even see her once!
The Emperor showed her the utmost favor.
After she arrived at the palace, the emperor did not bestow a palace upon her, but instead arranged for her to live in his own bedroom, where they ate and lived together!
Before the bitterness in the hearts of many concubines could even begin to surface, an even more dizzying piece of news spread through the palace—
That woman is pregnant!
I heard that she has been pregnant for quite some time, but the Emperor has kept it a secret for the sake of the baby's stability.
The Empress Dowager also sent countless precious tonics to her, saying that she should take good care of herself during her pregnancy.
As the most honored woman in the palace, the fact that even the Empress Dowager had expressed her opinion indicates that this woman's status was already extraordinary.
What's even more surprising is that the emperor loved that woman so much, yet he never granted her a title.
